Are there PCIe cards with good tv-out quality (S-Video, SD) available?<br>
I remember reading that newer cards are not as good as the old 5200<br>
series. I tested a 7900 GS and quality was really bad.<br></blockquote><div>[snip]<br><br>Sorry if this is a little off topic, but how do you mean 'really bad'? I used to use an ATI card (which was okay, but the tearing was unbearable in the end) so I upgraded to an nVidia & series, which X claims to be a "NVIDIA GPU GeForce 7900 GT/GTO (G71) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)"<br>
<br>I've not had too many issues with this, I think the picture quality (with OpenGL rendering and a deinterlacer, although I forget exactly which one at the moment and can't check.) is okay. It's a tiny bit smeary, but nothing too unbearable.<br>
<br>The picture with VDPAU is almost perfect (although I have some issues with VDPAU when the resolution of the source changes, eg, when CH4 show the simpsons so I stick to Open GL.)<br><br>Am I missing something? What should I be looking for?<br>
<br>Sorry if this is a little off topic, I'm just worried I'm not getting the best from my setup. (This is feeding a 29" 4:3 sony CRT TV via SVid, I can't afford a new shiny HD telly yet. :) )<br><br>Cheers,<br>
<br>Ian<br><br>PS, FWIW, this is with the 190.18 beta drivers and a fairly recent myth from trunk.<br><br></div></div>
